Scanning the news today I note that Pastor Terry Jones, the man behind the infamous abortive Quran-burning stunt back in September, is allegedly threatening to grace the United Kingdom with his presence. He is supposedly going to be addressing a meeting of a far-right organisation in Luton – a town in Bedfordshire which so happens to have a large Muslim community.

Let us not forget that due to the successful efforts of mainly yours truly, and to a lesser extent several world-leaders and all right thinking people generally, this guy backed down from his antics last time. It may therefore be just another publicity stunt … However: just in case it isn’t, there is now a mass debate in Britain at the moment, as to whether he should be banned from entering the country or not. On the one hand, there are a load of bleeding hearts saying “freedom of speech!” etc. On the other, there are a load of law-abiding citizens in Luton who don’t want to get caught up in a riot or violent demonstration. IMHO, the way to appease both sides of the argument is so simple it is a no-brainer – SKYPE. He can address all his racist friends from Florida, without having to come anywhere near dear old Blighty. Result: riot-averted, freedom of speech preserved.

But I digress.

This has got me thinking about the wider use of modern technology generally, whilst more specifically in the context of magic. For example: could not Skype be used to link together distant magicians so they can perform a ritual? If your Golden Dawn temple does not have five adepts to sit on the Dais, you could instead set up a data-projector and a screen in the East of the room!!! Let’s face it, some Golden Dawn orders purport to conduct “astral initiations” at the moment, so it should not be too much of a stretch to conduct an initiation by Skype. If anything it would be more authentic, because you would actually see the officers conducting your astral initiation, and thus be reassured that they are not just sitting around eating pizza instead. Needless to say though that if it were a Golden Dawn Neophyte ceremony, in order to replicate the effect of a hood-wink, you would be staring at a blank screen for most of the ceremony.

So there I was, reading this story about this guy in Florida who says he is going to burn 200 copies of the Quran on the anniversary of the September 11th bombings this Saturday – in protest. This has of course brought world wide protest from just about everyone, Christian, Muslim and others, world leaders, and even General Petraeus who is concerned about the safety of his troops in Afghanistan.

I thought to myself – surely there must be something better to burn than the Quran? Obviously not one of the world’s Holy Books … aha – the Sacred Herb of Rastafarianism – Ganja! That is meant to be burnt! And, what is more, instead of stirring up hatred and discord, the act of burning Ganja will do the exact opposite. Result!

First I thought this was just a flippant idea, but then I thought this would be a good way to start an international peace movement. I have therefore founded a Facebook Group: Burn Da Herb, Not Da Quran, so that people can register their support.
